In Paris, the most common and standard way to say "hi" or "hello" in everyday casual conversation is "Salut" (pronounced sah-lu). For a polite, standard greeting suitable for shops, workplaces, or meeting acquaintances, locals use "Bonjour" during daytime hours or "Bonsoir" in the evening, reflecting the polite social customs characteristic of Parisian daily interactions.
